A small home market and a big export audience
New Zealand brands are often small and sell far beyond the country, to Australia, the US and the UK. They need a steady supply of short videos but rarely have a content team.
That makes a creator who can film alone, on a phone, very useful. You can be the face of a wool brand one week and an outdoor gear label the next.
What suits a Kiwi creator
Brands often pick New Zealand creators for the setting as well as the voice.
- Outdoor gear tested on a local track, beach or lake shore
- Natural skincare, honey and wellness products shown in a home routine
- Merino and wool clothing in real weather
- Farm, garden and pet items in a rural setting
- Travel and tourism clips that show a place without heavy editing
Time zones and payment
New Zealand is among the first places to start the day, so deliver by the date in the brief and plan around the gap with brands in other regions.
You set prices in US dollars for a video up to 30 seconds, up to 60 seconds, a set of five photos and raw footage. The brand pays into escrow before you film, and the payout is released after approval through PayPal or Wise, or by bank transfer. You report your own income under the rules that apply to you.
Starting small
You do not need thousands of followers. One steady, well lit clip that shows you handling a product honestly is enough to start. Add two more when you have them.
The basics, the same for every creator
Free to join
Your profile, your samples and your place in the catalog cost nothing. The marketplace fee is paid by the brand on top of your rate.
Your rates, in US dollars
You price a short video, a longer video, a photo set and raw footage yourself, and you can change the prices at any time. Brands see your rate before they invite you.
Paid after approval
The brand pays into escrow before you film. When the brand approves the video, the money is released to you through PayPal or Wise, or by bank transfer, to the details you save in your account.

Get invitations and briefs
Brands invite you directly or publish open briefs you can pitch for. Every brief states the product, the format and the delivery date.
-
4
Film while the money is held
The brand authorizes payment, which sits in escrow. You film and upload the video in the format the brief asks for.
-
5
Get paid after approval
Once the brand approves the video, the payment is released to you. You keep ownership of the video; the brand gets a licence to use it.
What you need to start
- A phone with a stable grip or tripod for outdoor filming
- One to three samples as links or files up to 12 MB
- An inbox you can open for the four digit code
- PayPal, Wise or bank details for payouts
Frequently asked questions
Is it worth joining from a small country?
Yes. Brands search by country, language and niche, and a local look is something they ask for. You can apply from almost any country.
Can I film in te reo Maori?
If you record in more than one language, list each one in your profile. Brands choose creators based on those languages.
Will I be paid in New Zealand dollars?
Rates are in US dollars. The payout arrives by PayPal, Wise or bank transfer.
What if I film before the brand pays?
You film after the brand has paid into escrow, so you are not working on a promise.
Who owns the video?
You do. The brand receives a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to the approved video.
Do I need to be 18?
Yes, and the samples must be your own work.
